    perf shift on or off it feels better. really feels better when not in perf shift mode lol, and feels like i have perf shift now when its on.

    it may be time for a trans tune up, i've been putting it off because my fluid is burnt up and brown, i was waiting till i can put a new trans in, but with this now maybe ill take the chance and do it now. i just don't want to not have any transmission after im done with a fluid and filter change.

    The trick is to keep the transmission. If you throw it out (not part of the GM recommended flush procedure, but a buddy of your might have told you it was a good performance mod), you won't have a transmission anymore.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    that's why i told you guys i didn't un hook the battery, i know the pcm wasn't reset in any way.

    if im certifiable ill just stay this way, the trans still shifts better lol
